Music Lessons in Yeadon, PA

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Ukulele

For beginner flute and sax students, I like to work out of the Standard of Excellence Books, and for beginner piano I like to use Bastien Series books. I have used these books in my development and am very comfortable and confident with their ability to help studnets progress. Once my students reach a level where they have a pretty solid understanding of music, I start to give them more freedom into choosing what they want to do. Read More

Instruments: Voice

Singing is one of the most vulnerable forms of art. I strive to create an environment where the student can communicate and express freely while finding their own voice. I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience into the lessons I teach. I'm a lover of all types of music and have worked with singers of all ages and genres ranging from classical to contemporary. My focus is placed on not just creating great singers, but smart singers who understand what healthy vocal production is. Read More

I am a piano/music teacher with extensive experience of over 45 years. I have been trained as a concert pianist and teacher in Europe and the USA, and graduated with a Bachelor of Music, Master of Music, and Doctor of Musical Arts from Temple University in Philadelphia.  I have over 40 years’ experience as a concert pianist with orchestras, solo recitals, chamber music, and accompaniment, and my extensive training both as a pianist and teacher enables me to teach my students the piano music from Bach to the present.  In my teaching, I focus on the student's needs, ability, talent, and personality and strive to develop his/her potential for excellence.  Also, I emphasize the enjoyment of music and share the beautiful richness of the great music composed in different periods.

Instruments: Double Bass

I LOVE teaching and sharing the richness of our noble instrument. I have several decades of professional orchestral experience and private studies in music composition and performance practice. I am currently principal bass in a local orchestra and ensemble coordinator for a chamber orchestra. Injury prevention is a key component to my teaching. In the case of younger students, I encourage the parents to become involved. My focus is on the STUDENT - goals, interests, and desired outcomes. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin

My teaching style is defined by a combination of high standards, understanding, nurture and patience. I will set realistic goals for each student based on his/her abilities. I will encourage and try new ways to explain or demonstrate a skill that the student is having difficulty with and I will be extremely enthusiastic about their accomplishments. However, I will assertively make it known if the student shows that they have not been practicing in a supportive way. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

Each student has an individual connection with music, and therefore a teacher should be willing to adapt their methods in the best interest of each student. When working with a new student, I devote the first lesson to getting to know each other; the student's interest in music, their proficiency level (if they've studied in the past), their hobbies, Depending on that meeting we might choose to focus more on music theory, or ear training, or performance repertoire; whatever the student and I set as a goal for our work together.

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

My goal as a vocal, beat-production, music theory, or piano instructor is to unlock your inner artist and cultivate what exactly YOU excel; not to impart my style onto you. I identify the walls that you have built around your true artist, so we can systematically break those down TOGETHER. Being a creative person means expressing yourself in your truest form. Often times we have these "ideas" about who we are, so we project those "ideas" onto our singing, producing, piano playing, etc. Read More
